Masterstudium Business Informatics - Fakultät für Informatik, TU Wien

SBA/FR1 - Advanced Financial and Risk Management 1 (6.0 Ects) In this module,
students are provided with fundamental knowledge and skills necessary in the
nancial and risk management of industrial organizations. The module consists of integrated
courses that contain lecture, interactive, and assignment sections.
SBA/FR2 - Advanced Financial and Risk Management 2 (6.0 Ects) In this module
students are provided with advanced knowledge and skills necessary in the nancial
and risk management of industrial organizations. The module consists of integrated
courses that contain lecture, interactive, and assignment sections.
SBA/ORG - Organization (6.0 Ects) What are organizations, how are they designed
and how do they interact with their environment? These questions are simple but
provoking. This module is aimed at giving students the possibility to discuss alternative
answers to these question. It helps students to increase their abilities to understand complex
organized behavior. It oers not only a series of dierent theoretical lenses useful
for explaining organizations from multiple perspectives but also a set of tools to design
and manage organizations. To a large extent the courses rely on experiential learning
techniques including individual as well as team assignments, role plays and simulations
in-class, group discussions, and presentations.
SBA/ORM - Operations Research Methods (6.0 Ects) This module covers important
algorithmic techniques for problem solving and optimization from the domain
of operations research. Included are in particular mixed integer programming methods
and (meta-)heuristic algorithms as well as dedicated methods for the domain of transport
optimization. A lecture covers the theoretical background, theoretical and practical
exercises, including programming examples, deepen the knowledge.
SBA/STM - Strategic Management and Innovation (6.0 Ects) This module introduces
strategic management and innovation theory. Students are enabled to perform
strategic analysis as a basis for rational choice among and evaluation of alternative courses
of action. Furthermore they gain understanding of the innovation process and success
factors for the diusion of innovations. The theoretical background and core concepts
are provided in lectures and deepened in exercises, case studies, and reports.
SBI/BTD - Beyond the Desktop (6.0 Ects) Graphical user interfaces (GUI) with
their traditional input and output devices are nowadays the most used interaction environments.
Besides their unavoidable existence they still lack on exibility in user interaction,
especially if it comes to certain groups of users like children, elderly, or humans
with special needs. Tangible user interfaces and objects, mobile platforms, ubiquitous
computing, embedded sensors and displays, large multitouch systems, or gestural interaction
are some example technologies, which have already started to change and enhance
the ways of communication and interaction between people in our society. This module
deals with these alternative technologies with their multimodal interfaces as add-ons or
replacement for conventional mouse and keyboard based graphical user interfaces. After
having lecture-based input on alternative ways for interaction with computers, students
will choose one technology and design a prototype in a group, for a given setting with
specied users before they present their results.
